Packets Per Second Limit?

[askthelist]

Anyone know the maximum packets per second that can traverse a 100MB
internet link. From what I've been able to gather its about 8300 or so? Is
this number accurate? Do connections just start to timeout once I hit this
limit? I'm a little worried about this because we are fast approaching this
mark and am afraid were gonna hit it before we max out are available
bandwidth? Anyone ever run into this situation or am I just paranoid?
